Thank you. Mopar 2in lift got 3in total..Black Rhino 17x9 -12 offset 4.5 backspace BFG KO2 317/70-17.. almost a 35 tire.. with this setup I ended up with a total height change of 6in with lift and tires..
Thanks for the share! Again, you have an awesome setup and looks like a lot fun. Keep in Jeep’n!
One last question: how’s the ride with these mods? Did you give up much of factory rude quality?

I meant ride.
I’ll tell you what, would not go back to stock! It’s a stiffer more control feel in a good way.. keep an eye out on your local dealers parts department running specials on installed Mopar lift on Craigslist.. Good Luck with your Jeep!!

Love this Thread Guys and Gals... Yes I am a Rubi owner:bandit: .. But; 3 of my 6 wranglers were Sports … So I have a very strong appreciation for building a personalized JEEP

I did the math on a set of Fox shocks and springs for my JK as I had to replace a spring and shock and it was a better deal to buy the Mopar kit from a dealer then buy the parts individually. Plus you get the other parts to make the installation painless. On my JK 2 door I find the ride slightly softer but that could also be the tire upgrade.

Would agree though that the kit is a good upgrade if you are in the market for a lift. Too bad it can’t be factory installed on a new Jeep build or at least I don’t think up here we can.

I agree it’s a nice upgrade and a great ride.. I ended up going with E rated KO2 due to all the info I found was the E and C rated tire weighed the same.. So, my ride may be a bit stiffer due to sidewall stiffness.. I’m still playing with tire pressure right now running them at 32 psi cold..

I don’t believe it’s a factory option for install, only available thru dealer or a third party..When I was shopping, I was going to buy on amazon for $1,123 and then install my self with some friends help, but I ran across a dealership parts department running a deal.. You buy the lift at a discount and it included install by a trained factory tech.. It only took them 2.5 hours..Cost of Lift and labor for install was $1,495 + tax.. They would not let me use the 15% off coupon though..Still was a great deal and we are happy with how it turned out..
